DiEM25 will campaign in support of:
-
Gradually abolishing patents that guarantee Big Pharma’s monopoly over crucial drugs
-
Replacing them with Prizes that the EU offers (instead of exploitative patents) to companies that develop necessary medicines
-
Public support to research centres that choose to share their pharmaceutical research outside the for-profit sector (e.g., University and non-commercial outfits)
